SERVICE PROCEDURES 95
TO REPLACE THE HDD
Do not install a new HDD and a new motherboard at the same time. If you suspect that the
E-41 needs a new HDD and a new motherboard, first install the new HDD and install
system software, then install a new motherboard and transfer options (see pages 65 and 73).
1. If you are installing a new HDD, unpack the drive.
Do not drop, jar, or bump the HDD. Do not touch the HDD with magnetic objects or place
objects sensitive to magnets near the HDD.
2. Position the HDD inside the HDD bracket and align the front-most mounting holes on the HDD
with the four holes in the bracket (see Figure 32 on page 93).
When correctly installed, the HDD extends about an inch past the rear of the bracket.
3. Replace the four screws that you removed earlier to attach the HDD to the bracket.
4. Slide the bracket all the way onto the shelf and lock it by moving the latch toward the front
panel.
Avoid striking the DIMMs as you replace the HDD bracket.
NOTE: You will encounter slight resistance as you slide the bracket onto the shelf.
The resistance is caused by two tension points on the bottom of the bracket. The resistance
helps control the bracket’s movement during removal and installation.
5. Secure the HDD bracket to the HDD shelf using the screw that you removed earlier.
6. Connect one end of the HDD data cable to the HDD and the other end to SATA 2 on the
motherboard.
7. Connect the other end of the HDD data cable to the appropriate SATA connector on the
motherboard (J19; see Figure 20 on page 62).
8. Connect the power cable to the HDD.
Connect the thin, black SATA power cable connector to the HDD. Do not connect the
white, 4-pin power cable connector. Connecting both types of power cables will damage the
HDD.
9. Reassemble the E-41 (see page 104).
